Accreditation and Assessment
Montclair State University’s teacher education program boasts a rich history of national accreditation. As one of the pioneering institutions accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) in 1954, we have maintained our accreditation continuously as NCATE transformed into the esteemed Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP). Our commitment to excellence extends beyond accreditation, as we provide students with comprehensive tools and resources to navigate program requirements, manage assessments, and track evaluations, ensuring a seamless and successful educational journey.
What is CAEP?
The Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) is a national accrediting body for teacher preparation programs. CAEP’s mission is to advance excellence in educator preparation through evidence-based accreditation that assures quality and supports continuous improvement in the effectiveness of preparation to strengthen P-12 student learning. CAEP was formed in 2010 when two of the previous national accreditation bodies, NCATE and TEAC, consolidated and was formally recognized by CHEA (Council for Higher Education Accreditation) in 2014.
